If your game runs fine, don't worry about it. Since it's a beta build, some things aren't yet built in, even though the game knows it has to be there eventually.
If you're having problems, please post your server log here, so we can take a look. :)

Also, might try the steps I put in this <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=118991&view=findpost&p=1945082" target="_blank">post</a>. <!--quoteo(post=1945082:date=Jun 19 2012, 07:28 PM:name=ScardyBob)--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ScardyBob @ Jun 19 2012, 07:28 PM) <a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=1945082"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->So I just ran into this problem on my laptop. Essentially, Steam popped up saying it was fiddling with my NS2 files and after it finished NS2 loaded with a blackscreen and this spammed in console: ID3DXEffectCompiler: Compilation Failed ID3DXEffectCompiler: There were no techniques
To fix it I had to do the following: - Deleted local content for NS2 via steam - Deleted the NS2 folder in the AppData directory (e.g. \AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2) - Deleted the NS2 folder in the Steam directory (e.g. \Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2) - Redownloaded NS2
It seems the 'Delete local content' option in Steam doesn't fully get rid of all NS2 files, which is why I needed to manually delete those others.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
